Mobile games are relatively new industry, and their relevance on the game markets are rising. At the same time, it is very competitive market, as new games are coming out by hundreds every day. The challenges for the new game development come from the creative process and the human factors on how to make the game appealing. In this research, we study the use of test groups as part of new mobile game and concept development process in the early phases. They were used to complement the testing automation at the development phases when use of analytics was not yet possible. Six separate feedback collection sessions were arranged using different methods. The paper presents the main learnings of each used method, the perceived usefulness of the methods for the entire development process. We also contribute to the growing knowledge for mobile game development, focusing on methods for the testing with test user approaches. We conclude that testing with user groups can help clarify the mobile game design to create a more appealing game, but choosing the right groups and right moments in the game development phase can be difficult, as can be the interpretation of the feedback for decision making.

Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo desvelar a ação empreendedora dos produtores de jogos independentes.Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa que contou com quatro entrevistas semiestruturadas, analisadas por meio da técnica análise de conteúdo temática.Originalidade/Relevância: O estudo se diferenciou por conciliar o effectuation com a ação empreendedora e permite a compreensão do modo como esse ator se articula por meio de artefatos empresariais, plataformas tecnológicas e infraestrutura digital.Resultados: Os resultados revelam a articulação de atores estratégicos em meio às redes organizacionais como de modalidade da ação social que tem por base a constução e manutenção de parcerias e fortalecimento de valores compartilháveis.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Foram definidas duas abordagens teóricas: o effectuation, proposta por Sarasvathy (2001) e a ação empreendedora, desenvolvida por Paiva Junior (2004). Essas abodagens complementares contemplam um novo modo de olhar a ação empreendedora.
